1)A derogatory term for a transsexual woman, which implies she isn't a "real" woman. It is most commonly used in porn for straight cisgender men; also used in dehumanizing trans women for joke or violence.

2)A term used to insult a cissexual/cisgender person by implying that ze is a trans woman.

3)An affectionate term for any trans-identified person; language reclamation from 1st term. Most commonly used by young trans people, especially trans men & masculine genderqueers, among whom the "language reclamation" use started. Trans women have argued that this use of the term is appropriation, not reclamation, as the derogatory use of the term has almost exclusively focused on women, yet 'reclamation' efforts have largely been steered by men.

3)Hey, did you hear, the Tranny Roadshow's playing at Genderblur tonight!

I thought this was a queer/trans dance. There's, like, three trannies here. They don't even have gender neutral bathrooms!

A guy who likes to wear womens clothes and make up. Could or could not desire to be a woman and have a sex change.. some get it done. some don't. This isnt just a one time thing this is a way of life for us. I found another fellow tranny online through a support group and we are now a happy couple. 'Heart' you Sal.

A man who wishes to make a male to female sexual transition. Can be uncomfortable with their own body, their own sex and feel like they need to make a change to be who they 'really are.' This is something thats kept very secret and when you finally come out its like getting a weight lifted off your shoulders. The price to get the surgery done is somwhere between 7-24,00 dollars. I saved up a lot of money from the grocery store and can now pursue whichever avenue is best for me.

I would like to get a male to female surgery done and become who I was always meant to be. Right now I still consider myself a 'tranny'

A popular term for someone suffering from "gender dysmorphia," meaning unhappiness with one's gender. Such individuals long to be of the other gender, often suffer extreme angst due to their biological gender, and will often go to extraordinary lengths to live and outwardly appear as the gender they wish to be, including extensive chemical, surgical and prosthetic alterations of their bodies.

M2F is often used to refer to boys/men who think of themselves as female. F2M for girls/women who think of themselves as male.
